It should be pointed out that a normal non-fractal zoom will not generate
blocky, square pixels if it is done properly.  With antialiasing, the zoomed
image will remain smooth.  (There will, of course, be no detail in the zoomed
areas.)  Thus, it is a misleading comparison to say that fractal zooming is
better because you don't get big blocky pixels.
